Blue Boy

The rate increases for health and social care is too little too late and will provide little incentive for providers to engage. The Care Leadership and Management Framework small increase is restricted to the specialist pathway which represents a very small percentage of the total numbers who historically have completed this Framework anyway. Given that the Government have now paused again the Framework removal deadline, the decision of Skills for Care to terminate all the Frameworks prematurely in December 2017 seems even more miss-guided. Sadly, these measures do nothing to change the gloomy outlook for apprenticeships in this sector.
